I want whatever is necessary to hasten Bartons exit.
The issue of being a true Rovers fan is more complex than just wanting the first team to win games.
Losing games is probably the only way Barton gets sacked. I will take no pleasure that we lose but will be happy when it leads to an outcome that will benefit the Club long term.

What is funny to me is we have posters voting on polls, starting thread after thread, voicing their displeasure of Barton and wanting him gone.
None of them seem to want to face the reality that the only way he gets gone is by losing games.
If you are not prepared to lose games to stick to your convictions then by all means get 100% behind Barton.
If you truly want him gone then accept what's needed to see it through.

Tin hat on here, and can't believe I'm saying it, but yes.
Life long Gashead and always glass half full, but Barton should never have been a part of our club and must go, the sooner the better.
I'll accept the abuse I may get if it in any way speeds the situation. I as some others on here have not attended since his appointment.

The fact that this question has even been asked in the first place (and I totally understand why it was) shows how Barton has dragged our great club down to his level. I did attend one game this season (wife made me take my two lads who were home for the weekend) but I have no desire to go again until he has gone. His sacking MUST be very imminent and I am tempted to get out the bag of Gas shirts, scarves, jackets, hats etc that I stuffed away at the back of my cupboard where they would stay until we were Barton free...and that time is rapidly approaching. I don't really want Rovers to lose but like others on here I almost don't care any more...and that scares me. I've been a Rovers fan for over 50 years and I have never felt like this. Yes, we support the team and not just the manager but he is such a decisive person that it makes you feel like you can't support the team without giving backing to him. My protest will be to stay away until he is gone. Hopefully see you all at the next home game! (fingers crossed!!!)

I don't want us to lose, but win lose or draw, I still want 'Barton Out', and if we lose, hopefully it's one step closer to him leaving.

If you are not prepared to lose games to stick to your convictions then by all means get 100% behind Barton. If you truly want him gone then accept what's needed to see it through. Whats the point though, its a loaded question is it not? It could read 'wanting the club to succeed' Heres another one, if Barton was to be sacked after another loss and we were to replace him and make the playoffs, would you like to lose the next game? We all have our own thoughts on what the greater good is. Some think we will get relegated with him here, does that make you 'a true supporter' if you want to win the next game but are happy to see us relegated? Its just all hypothetical nonsense. None of us know the effect of any of it. You can be the worst manager in a clubs history and a piece of sh** to boot and it apparently doesn't matter. Virtuous though it is to never want the team to lose, if it means Barton stays and eventually gets us relegated, again, then how far does that virtue get you? See, pointless hypotheticals. Ultimately it doesn't matter, we have him here and are losing plenty enough games already. To answer the question directly, I want us to succeed. That is a far more sensible stance in the long term.

It's a good question from the op, my take is I hate losing, however a win is bittersweet as it buys jb more time and we don't look capable of putting a decent run together. I really hoped jb would be a success on and off the pitch but from the way things are going I don't think he's capable of either.

I don't know why Wael is getting off so light to be honest.
From appointing JB in the first place to everything that has gone on with JB since, his judgement has been spectacularly poor for someone who is supposedly an intelligent man.

Wael is absolutely clueless about football. I don't doubt that he loves the game but he's way out of his depth.

I am going to Harrogate with my two lads. I would like to see a win in the sense of a better day out and we need the points. On the other hand if we do lose then I hope it's a real battering and perhaps Wael will be forced to act.

63rd season and no I never want the gas to lose. BARTON suffers from verbal diarrhoea of which there is no known cure. I feel certain it will, along with more bad results, or a jail sentence it will bring about his demise.

Maybe you could ask yourself what benefits there are to having Barton at the club because I don't see any. Then the next logical step is how are we best to get rid? Ideally Barton keeps his mouth shut and we start winning games. If not, we win all our games until he loses one or both of his court cases. Then gets sacked. Next best Scenario is that we win all our games until the next awful thing he says that will eventually lead to his sacking. The third is that we lose games until he gets sacked. I can't see any other options. Can you? The first won't happen. The 2nd is possible but I don't see him winning games and I've no idea how the court cases will go. The 3rd doesn't seem likely given the clubs statement on victimless domestic abuse charge. So yeah, losing games is the best possible outcome for the club in my opinion.

Let's be honest, do you or your mates want the team to lose at the moment as a way of hastening Joey's departure? Pretty sad tbh if that’s what people are wishing for now. This Gaschat has gone right down hill fair play. I agree, it’s terrible at the moment but I think the mistake was made just before that famous win against Ipswich when GC decided he was going to walk. I’m not ruling out another manager but I’m not quite sure who there is out there to take the job other than Flynn… we’ve gone through 2 managers in just over a year and it hasn’t worked, one of which is doing very well at Swindon but couldn’t perform at the Gas ( tells me there is more issues behind the scenes that doesn’t meet the eye) I don’t think Barton is proving to be any better but I think rovers have deep rooted problems that aren’t going to be a quick fix. At this moment in time I’d rather be getting behind the team.

This was posted in a matchday thread last weekend I think.
I never want the gas to lose, whomever is in charge. I've disliked a few managers in my time supporting rovers, Tisdale and Barton have been the ones I've disliked the most. But never have I wanted the club or players to lose or not represent the badge in the way we expect all players who have the honour of playing in our famous blue and white quarters to do so.
I listened to sound of the city on Monday night in the car on the way home, and a ted on there admitted to GT having a wager that they would lose 4-0 at WBA and he was proud of the fact he almost got it right. GT called him out on it and said isnt it bizzare that you backed your team to lose? I also thought that was madness.
If you hope we lose the next 3 games we could well be bottom of the league table going into December, with absolutely no guarantee of a new manager bounce, with even less managerial options to choose from. Afterall, who would want to come to our basket case club right now and even more so in football league relegation fight.
I would happily keep Barton until the end of the season and finish 19th rather than go back to having to watch semi professional football again.

Great theory let's lose games as I don't like Barton get another manager in who has to try and galvanize another managers players and hope we don't get relegated. Funny that sounds very familiar and if we do go down I very much believe we won't bounce straight back. I really don't understand people wanting us to lose any game regardless of who the manager is. Sacking him now is basically relegating us so there is the benefit to keeping him.

Absolutely not - And JB will be sacked if and when the time is right as all managers are
